Parenting after a Loss

Vent

Dear person I met today at the meetup,

Ok lady, I don't want to hear you b!tch anymore about how hard your life is because you have to pump all of TWICE a day and get SO much milk your freezer is overflowing. I can understand and totally sympothize with the fact that BF didn't work, but you didn't b!tch about that, you complained for two hours that life is so hard because you have to pump twice a day.

Some of us aren't so lucky to have it that easy. Some of us work really goddamn hard to get the pathetic little 12oz a day we pump. Some of us lose hours upon hours daily due to pumping and all that comes with it. And then, those of us who can't pump 60oz a day lose valuable time, effort, and sleep over the fact that we can't provide for our children, no matter how hard we try.

I know some people have an oversupply, and that it can be an issue in its own right, but all three of the other women present JUST stated they had BF and supply issues. Know your audience.

Screw you lady.

  • Ugh, what a douche canoe. I'm so sorry you had to deal with her. I totally get having to pump around the clock to get enough BM. It's extremely frustrating and stressful. I know her sob story is not what you needed. ((Hugs))
